THE HEIRS OF MILLiONAlREs.
Bow the Lines of inheritance arc Car
>>~,ried Along.

~ried Along.
When Jay siuuid stepped lightly out of his
otlir" in the Western Union building the
otIer afternoon there was smile Oh his face
such as had rarely ever been seen there be-
fore he bccas" the grandfather to the heir of
his SON Georges fortune The recent ap-
pearamce OF that youugster gave hope to the
founder of the Gould dynasty that his mil
liois would descend in direct line down at
least to the third generation, from whence
the line Of Inheritance may yet be carried
along through generations yet unborn
1t used always TO be said in oldeu times
when millionaires were SO few as to number
but three or four i'll the whole United States,
the great fortunes in this country were pretty
sure to be dissipated by the sons of the mel.
who gathered them, and that there was no
chance Of the growth Of hereditary wealth
under the leveling influence of democracy.
But we call now see the New York Inherited
fortunes, not few III number, that have been
firmly held through three or four generations.
and bid fair to continue far beyond the heirs
now on the stage. The foundation of the
biggest fortune in Anne: lea was laId three
quarters OF IL century ago by Cornelius Van
derbilt, who was even then the captain If a
dore descend Il to his Bon, William II in
whose han',s they doubled, aus! by Kim they
were ,equcathc, to William X. and his her
children, several Of whom have now ,n,s,cri,y
who are reasonably sare of inheri:iug it in
duo time.
The foundation Of the gigantic: fortune Of
the Astor family tat least *1GO, COO 1oN was in
this city 100 years ago by John Jncol, As.or.
u l11 {1-s,y ,.,i Ii. Ii,
Who transmitted it to his heir, John j., who,
some years ago, turned oyer the keeping Of it
to his heir, William W., to be tra,s,nt.ed in
course of time to his heir, already OH tho
stagc-hcir Of he fifth generation since the
orig!:. of the Aston fortune These are the
most familiar examples of hereditary fort
unes in New York, though the list might be
extended to the Dc Peysters (whose estate
dates before the revolution), the Rhineland-
crs and many others.
As for the fortunes now in the second eeu-
GRAFTON and fastening to tho third, they arc
too numerous to mention. SO it is oil error
to suppose that the SONS of the rich are always
sure TO be spendthrifts who will dissipate
their heritage. 1t is a fact, Oh the contrary.
that i'll tue cases referred to, as we'll as in
others that might be spoken Of, the original
inherItance has been vastly increased by ca:h
successive generation. The head of the Astor
family today-if we regard William W., who
manages the property, as tho real head is a
shrewd business man, always enlarging the
estate; and the same thing may be said Of
William K. Vanderbilt aud of others in tho
line of milIionaireism, including George
could, the son of his father, Jay, and the
father of his son, Jay.-John Swinton in
Kansas City Times.

Alexis and yirEinia chivalry.

!, When the Grand Duke Alexis, Of Russia,
was over hero he attended a Virginia ball one
evening He sigiiiied his royal desire to
dance with n certain Richmond belle, and
one OF his iackeys in lace was sent to inform
her. She conrteonsy sent word that it he
desired dance he must come to her and get
lit like any other gentleman. He went. He
got it aud appeared to enjoy it. + The dance
over he left her suddenly in the middle Of the
floor and strolled off. Her southern blood
mounted, and she coo!ly walked over to him
rs be stood talking and very quietly notified
him that his act was ungentlemanly. He
could not understand her His English sud-
denly failed him, and she returned to her
scat without any apology. ~,..- I'll {. 3
This did not end the matter. A young
southerner, who held her very highly in es-
TEEN, 10 sooner heard of it than he, too, went
over. TO the grand duke and tapped him
lightly OH tho shoulder. The interpreter was
called into service Alexis was informed
that il he did not apologize Ito that young
lady the son of tho car Of all the Russias
would DO thrashed within an inch Of his life
unless he chose TO get up early next morning
and smell smoke. The grand duke apollo

Myth of the Okinagen Indians.

MI. A. s. Gatsc,et publishes an interesting
myth of the Okinagen Indians in The Globus.
He relates how the animals climbed on a
chain Of arrows to heaven III order to obtain
the fire. The bird Tskan made strong bow
of the rib of an elk which he killed by eating
its heart, Then he killed the coyote with MS
arrows, but the latter was revived by the
fox. Then he shot one arrow into the sky.
The next arrow he shot stuck III the end of
the first one. Thus he continued until chain
was formed reaching from heaven to EARTH
All animals climbed up this chain, and the
beaver obtained the fire. An analysis of this
interesting legend shows that its elements are
found among q great number Of tribes Of the
Selfish lineage and among their lleighbors, but
it seems that tue myth Of the ascent to heaven
is characteristic Of Selfish mythology. Cat
schet tries to interpret this legend, and thinks
bird Tskan represents the moon, the coyote tho
sun; but this seems improbable, as the myth
is extremely complicated, aud is probably de.
rived from a great number Of sources. 1t is
desirable that the mythology of the native
tribes of tue upper Columbia should be col
lected systematically, for the analysis of ira
aition is one Of the most Important methods
Of studying the history Of the naive races
and the psychology of nations. Science

Milne mentioned tho signs OF alarm which the
lower animals often show beiore earthquakes,
Ponies were observed to prance in their stalls

Proof has been found that pheasaits scream,
and frogs suddenly cease their croaking,
while geese, swine and dogs give the dearest
